BOA=bank of america, basterds operating atrocity

Today began wonderfully. My flu-like symptoms were minimal, free breakfast, and a light work load. I receive a text, A TEXT, from Bank of America telling me that they were skeptical of recent charges. I race online to see what these "unusual charges" were. 45$ from a McDonalds in California, 201$ from Target.com, 56$ from a Super Savor (I am assuming it is a grocery store) in California, and another 200$ from Amazon.com.
A.) Who can eat 45$ worth of McDonalds?
B.) I live in Chicago, 2,018 miles away from Burbank, CA
C.) IT TAKES 515$ IN CHARGES FOR THEM TO REALIZE???

I am not too mad, I was assured that I would be reimbursed for these charges once they "post" which may take 2-3 days. I get a temporary ATM card in the meantime. I did nothing wrong; no purchases from odd websites, no losing my card, no flashing of the numbers. So, if your day sucks as much as mine, or might in the near future, take a look at a few of these pictures I found that helped make my situation OK. And, for future reference, keep up on your online banking. It seems as if any fraudulent charges under 500$ might go unnoticed. And pay attention to your texts, some may be more informative than others!
